. >> chris: nine days later, we are still mourning the victims of the shooting in newtown, connecticut. what are your thoughts about this tragedy? >> you know, "time" magazine's calling it the massacre of innocence and that actually is a phrase from the first christmas, where herod killed baby boys under 2, at christmas time and, it is very tragic, that this is happening at christmas time. i think with the two sandies, sandy hook and sandy hurricane we really need the christmas spirit right now. the deeper the pain, the deeper the grief, the fewer the words. there are long term things we need to deal with to prevent it from happening again but now, we need to console those who are grieving. as a pastor i deal with grief every day of my life and i discovered it is a good thing, the way we make transitions in the losses of life. jesus said, blessed are those who mourn, they shall be comforted and if we stuff our grief, i figured out it comes outside ways later on in strange ways and so, part of the healing process is actually dealing with the grief, and, the way we help people in grief,
